    U0100 code after using SCT tuner

    So I got my SCT X4 with my custom tunes from 5 star tuning and followed the directions to program. Immediately after programming, I have a check engine light and it comes up as a U0100 code when checking it with my programmer. I do see a noticeable difference when driving the truck so it seems...

    Swapping out factory stereo questions

    Good deal, and yeah that's not a major concern for me either. BTW, did yours come with the headphones? I bought mine from a used car dealer and weren't with it when I bought it so I'm looking to acquire some for my little ones as well.

    Swapping out factory stereo questions

    Haha! yeah I'm very familiar with Crutchfield. been using them for years. I planned on buying the harness and dash kit from them anyway. Thanks so much for the info! I'm very familiar with how to hook up the harness but knowing that the one you mentioned ties into the steering controls is...

    Swapping out factory stereo questions

    didn't even think about that, but I'm assuming I would only lose the ability to control the DVD player from the stock unit since the DVD system has it's own set of controls?

    Swapping out factory stereo questions

    So I have a nice double-din Kenwood head-unit with Apple car play and all the fancy new tech that we all hate/love. I have the factory nav unit with the THX certified sound system in my 07 Navigator. My question to you guys is, if I swapped out the factory unit for the Kenwood, what features do...

Does anyone have any suggestions on what type? anyone got a link to the TSB for the replacement procedure that has the ford replacement plug part # since they are know to break? or are there better aftermarket plugs to replace the old plugs with? On Edit: found the...

    Upgrade/mod Suggestions

    So as far as the cat-back exhaust systems, did your mechanic say that more for the fuel mileage or known problems/reliability? are the cat's know to plug up? And for the air filter, that's definitely on my list, but still doing research. Trying to decide whether to upgrade to the cold-air...

    Blower for A/C and heat not turning off

    So after some googling, I ended up fixing this issue by replacing the blower control module (fomoco part# 9L3Z-19E624-B). Pretty easy to swap out after removing 2 8mm bolts and is located behind the glove box.

    Blower for A/C and heat not turning off

    Hey guys, just got my 2007 Navigator L today and the blower for the A/C and heater will not turn off. When I hit the off button, it will not turn off.

    Looking to buy soon with lots of questions

    well the rear is sitting really low so i'm assuming it still have the stock rear air suspension. If I get it, I already planned on doing the swap to springs. I was asking what would need to be done to repair the air bags until I could get the springs installed.

    Looking to buy soon with lots of questions

    So guys, I found a 2007 Navigator L. Has 84,000 miles and in pretty good condition. Only issue is the rear airbags wont fill. A quick search tells me this is a common issue with these. What can you guys tell me about this?

    Looking to buy soon with lots of questions

    exactly what I was thinking. from what I am finding, I'm seeing 2007-2010s under 150K for under $10K. Gonna try and stay away from 2007 year model because of the spark plug issue. Question on that; What exactly is the issue with the spark plugs? is there a special tool needed that prevents the...

    Looking to buy soon with lots of questions

    Exactly the type of stuff I want to know! Thanks Trainmaster. I will keep the date in mind but will probably just avoid 2007 year models all together to be on the safe side during my search. Finding one with under 100K miles with my budget may be tough but good to know. And we couldnt perform...
